Have you ever experienced a sudden freeze while speaking—where your mind goes completely blank, your mouth won’t move, and panic sets in? That kind of speaking brain freeze mirrors the dreaded popsicle brain freeze from our childhood. In this mini-sode, Lauri dives deep into the subconscious fears that lead us to stop breathing in the first place. She also shares a simple yet powerful way to break free.
TAKEAWAYS
1. Breath leads to inspiration: When we freeze, it's often because we've stopped breathing. Opening your mouth and inhaling air is the quickest way to find your flow again.
2. Trusting the pause can transform your presence: Silence always feels longer for the speaker. The pause that feels endless to you is actually a gift to your audience, allowing them to absorb your message.
3. You are enough: Discomfort in silence often comes from a deeper belief that we need to prove our worth. Your presence alone has value—anything you say simply compliments that inherent worth.
